Scarlet Witch - Miss Popularity

Yes, she is the midst of a big ol' thing in the pages of House of M with her being crazy and all, but I would like to look at the other really weird aspect of Scarlet Witch - how popular she is with gentlemen in the Marvel Universe.

When she was a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Toad had a thing for her.

Then, when she joined the Avengers, she developed a crush on Captain America.

Meanwhile, Hawkeye developed a crush on HER.

Then, Hercules joined and also had a thing for her.

Arkon kidnapped her to be his queen.

Then she had her courtship with the Vision, leading to their marriage.

Once that fell apart, Wonder Man revealed his feelings for her and they dated for awhile.

I guess Crystal and Wasp could give her a BIT of a run for her money, and Storm is a real challenger, but I think Scarlet Witch is still the top when it comes to making other characters swoon for her.

During the "Disassembled" issues of Captain America & The Falcon, Wanda started making the moves on Steve Rogers again and he found himself increasingly drawn to her. There was a great two-page spread of her waking up on his couch.

I'm reading old posts on a slow work day...shh! Anyway, in one of those Exiles realities, Nightcrawler hooks up with Wanda, and they have a daughter, Nocturne. Kurt's met Nocturne and knows the score, so you know he's eying Wanda now...
